My guess is that your system is not fast enough to poll all your devices in 5min, creating new poller processes before the old ones are done.
You should start by upgrading your PHP to version 7 as this is much faster, if the problem still persists then post a screenshot of the /pollerlog-page in the Observium GUI please.

Hi I’ve upgraded to this version:

./discovery.php -V

Observium 17.5.8580

 

It seemed to be a great update but then MySQL died and I found this in the logs:

 

[2017/06/29 15:05:20 +0200] poller-wrapper.py(29309): /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py: URGENT: poller-wrapper not started because already running 34 processes, load average (5min) 37.17

 

And it kept increasing upton load over 70 where I killed all python, CROND and for some reason A LOT of ps processes. An example of processes below.

 

26133 ?        D      0:00 ps -ww -o ppid,uid,args -p 23434

26331 ?        R      0:00 ps -ww -o ppid,uid,args -p 2981

26354 ?        R      0:00 ps -ww -o ppid,uid,args -p 10439

26355 ?        R      0:00 ps -ww -o ppid,uid,args -p 11755

26356 ?        R      0:00 ps -ww -o ppid,uid,args -p 5772

26357 ?        R      0:00 ps -ww -o ppid,uid,args -p 2624

26360 ?        R      0:00 ps -ww -o ppid,uid,args -p 19699

Anyone know whats going on? I see this when I try to run the debug output

 

Your PHP version is too old (5.4.16),                   |

| functionality may be broken. Please update your PHP!    |

| Currently recommended version(s): 7.0.x or 5.6.x 

 

I guess I should upgrade PHP first.

 

Regards
